A comment on AWS X-Ray – Distributed Tracing System.

Honest question: why is there so much AWS news up today? I mean, X-Ray is particularly exciting for me, but there are currently 5/30 stories on the front page which are basically just product announcements. I'm pretty new, but is this normal? I thought the basic upvote criteria was meant to be that we should focus on upvoting articles of some depth as well as interest.

There's a big Amazon event (AWS re:Invent) and they are announcing an extraordinary number of new tools. Think an Apple or Google event but one where they announce a new product every 15 minutes. People with many different kinds of jobs are excited for different reasons. It's double-Christmas for people who work extensively with AWS.

AWS major conference/product showcase is going on this week.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon each dominate the frontpage for several days when their respective developer conferences are ongoing or just completed.

Today is the second day of AWS Re:Invent. So just like when Apple releases products and the site is slammed with Apple news, these two days are Amazon days. Don't worry, tomorrow will be back to normal.
